The voids formed in the Ni3P layer during reaction between Sn-based solders and electroless Ni–P metallization is an important cause of rapid degradation of solder joint reliability. In this study, to suppress formation ...

Ice accretion and accumulation pose serious challenges for maintaining the operation and performance of outdoor facilities in cold climate. Epoxy resin, with a wide range of formulation possibilities, is widely used as ...

Among diverse wetting phenomena in surface science, superamphiphobicity is regarded as one of the most special super-antiwetting states. In this paper, a systematic summary has been generated to cover the characterization ...

The production of cellulose-based aerogels from the conversion of cheap and rich precursors using environmentally friendly techniques is a very attractive subject in materials chemistry. In this work, we reports a facile ...

The features of well-conjugated and planar aromatic structures make π-conjugated luminescent materials suffer from aggregation caused quenching (ACQ) effect when used in solid or aggregated states, which greatly impedes ...

Oil-water separation is critically important for the water treatment of oily wastewater or oil-spill accidents. The oil contamination in water not only induces severe water pollution but also threatens human beings’ health ...

This paper attempts to identify key factor(s) for highly reflective silver (Ag) coatings. Investigation was made over the crystal orientation and surface roughness, using several types of surfaces, including electroplated ...

Despite the existing effort, fabricating superhydrophobic substrate through an environmental friendly approach remains a great challenge. In the current work, we present a simple approach to fabricate robust superhydrophobic ...

Titanium dioxide nanotubes (TNTs) have drawn wide attention and been extensively applied in the field of biomedicine, due to their large specific surface area, good corrosion resistance, excellent biocompatibility, and ...
